How much protein is in one bar, and is it enough for a snack? — Protein Bar Danish Cookie, 60 g – BOMBBAR

20 g of protein per 60 g serving is quite a high concentration for a bar of this size. For comparison: an average hen's egg contains about 6 g of protein, and 100 g of cottage cheese around 14–18 g. In other words, in terms of protein, one bar is comparable to a proper protein snack.

Protein is digested more slowly than simple carbohydrates, so after such a snack you stay full for longer than after an ordinary sweet or a snack made from flour and sugar. This is especially relevant when several hours pass between meals and you need to hold out without giving in to random food.

The bar also contains fibre, which further contributes to its dense texture and to the feeling of fullness. The sweet taste comes from sweeteners rather than ordinary sugar, which makes it a convenient option for those who watch their carbohydrate intake.

At the same time, the bar is a snack, not a substitute for a full meal. If your daily protein requirement is high (for example, with intensive training), it should be seen as one of your sources of protein during the day, not the only one.
